Wood Buffalo National Park is home to what is considered the largest freshwater boreal delta on the planet. There are a total of 55 world heritage sites listed as threatened, and Wood Buffalo National Park would be Canada's first. If listed as threatened it would mean the World Heritage Centre could allocate immediate assistance from the World Heritage Fund. "It's a world heritage site and it was listed as a world heritage site for the very reason that it is important to not only Canada but to the world."
